Just because Theodosia and Drayton run the Indigo Tea Shoppe, that doesn't stop them from enjoying other beverages even when murder is involved. Visiting a friend's winery, Theo and Drayton are present when a body tumbles out of a wine cask and because of Theo's special talents at uncovering answers, she sets out to expose the villain and help her friends.
Reading a tea shoppe mystery is like visiting some of your favorite friends while enjoying your preferred activity. I keep wishing that there was a real Indigo Tea Shoppe in Charleston. I'd be there in a heartbeat just to meet these characters.
My sincere thanks to Laura Childs for the signed ARC - I loved it anyway.
